The last six-week period ended only a couple of weeks ago and Ive been taking the Dexedrine since then. Im wondering if its worth a try to combine the two again or if any of you may have some other suggestions for augmenting?

>Hi!
This might sound strange but I would lose the Dexedrine and raise the dose of Nardil to 90mg+
It is possible the Dexedrine is working against the Nardil.
If that doesn't work, move on to other augmenters - Pindolol, Bromocriptine, mood stabilizers, Klonopin etc. Just persist!
Good luck!
Ace.
